#Trump brushed off criticism from US Democratic lawmakers that he did not seek permission from #Congress ahead of time & that the strike was #illegal. He called his Democratic critics “weak, stupid people” & blamed his political opponents for inflation in the US.
He said the operation in #Venezuela was “really genius.”
“All they do is complain,” he said of the #Democrats.

If you ever wonder why the Dems don't change and continue to alienate progressives, here you can see it happening in real time.
New centrist think tank in DC has already raised millions and promises to “defy ideological boxes and embrace a mix of positions from across the spectrum."
If you're not aware, that's code for 'make sure the progressives don't have a voice and keep giving the billionaire donors what they want. 🤦♂️

#Trump is praising a bill that Sen John Thune, the majority leader, has pushed to criminalize online “#RevengePorn.” Then he says that he could make use of such a bill himself, because no one is treated worse online that he is.
He has no idea what he’s talking about.
If anything, Trump would be the #criminal offender in this scenario, not the freaking victim.
Jackass.
Note #Democrats all applauded this bill.
#Trump trashes the federal work force for not being at work in person since the pandemic, & says those who “resist this change will be removed from office immediately.”
The days of being ruled by “unelected bureaucrats” are over, Trump says.
#Democrats scoff & point up at the gallery where #Musk is sitting.
Some #Democrats will be wearing stickers saying #ElonMusk is stealing #SocialSecurity.
Several Dems will boycott #Trump’s speech altogether.
Me? I am having a martini to gird myself against the terror.
And that’s what I’ve decided Trump has been up to in his first 50ish days, a campaign of #terror against the citizens of the US & the citizens of planet earth.

"Nothing says women refuse to accept second-class citizenship like electing one. I have no doubt she can do it, and I look forward to watching the support she receives from Hillary Clinton, her sorors, and pretty much everyone in America who loves democracy. We have work to do!"

"And as one of my friends pointed out, this means that so many of Trump’s 'arguments' are gone in one fell swoop: President Biden’s age, Hunter Biden, the whole 'Biden crime family' corruption allegations. All out the door.
This is the poetic justice the country has been looking for and richly deserves: A highly qualified, talented Black woman, a former prosecutor, will be the one to take down Donald Trump."

"For three and a half years, she has been the person the national-security apparatus would turn to if anything happened to the president. She’s become stronger and stronger as a public figure. The party doesn’t have the luxury of wasting time figuring out who else can gain support. For the party it’s time to mobilize behind her…."

President Joe Biden makes the difficult decision to withdraw from the raceSteven Beschloss (America, America)
"Biden’s decision has given the Democratic Party a window of narrative dominance. It’s the biggest story in politics, and most Americans will come to understand its significance on Democratic terms—that Biden did something fundamentally patriotic, when he realized his campaign, under his direction as an 81 year old man, had created an intolerable risk of allowing Donald Trump to become president again."

That fight, against spooked and dissembling Republicans, needs to begin nowBrian Beutler (Off Message)
"Speaking of Black women, Kamala Harris should be fully unleashed now as President Biden finishes his term. She is the best one to prosecute the case against Trump and MAGA’s extremist Project 2025 agenda. Biden can govern but he can’t articulate the case in public as well as Harris, so let her do it, especially when it comes to GOP’s kryptonite: abortion and women’s rights. Trump and the GOP can’t run away from their misogyny and cruelty."

"Democrats should lean on and reward Black leaders who have been the most loyal and staunch supporters of the Biden-Harris ticket. The Congressional Black Caucus, minus one individual, stayed united and steadfast in promoting the Biden-Harris ticket, and now they’re fully behind Harris. Black voters, especially Black women, are the strongest base of the Democratic Party."

"Even if she takes the nomination by acclamation, we will know much more about the prospects of an institutional defense against Trump by whether the media that once pushed Biden from the race now finds reason to dislike Harris, or to suggest she is an unworthy of a position she has spent the last four years preparing for."

"I will put on my boots and go to work day one. I will knock doors in rural spaces for a woman running to extend democracy for at least four more years. A qualified and vetted woman who will keep us on track.
We have to beat Trump, but after that, we need a reckoning in the party."

I wrote a long piece on gardening and religion this morning and published it right before Joe’s news…bad timing. I won’t keep you long here except to say, as a rural Democratic activist, I’m pissed, but I’m in it to win it.Jess Piper (The View from Rural Missouri by Jess Piper)
"It’s too much time to waste, when the party needs to unify now and get on with the urgent business of running Donald Trump and his gaggle of discontents and fellow criminals into the river.
Joe Biden has taken the step so many have urged on him. We should thank him and unite, move forward, fight as a team and beat Trump."

"Biden’s announcement turns a time of discord and distress for the Democratic Party into a time of opportunity and purpose. Democrats should seize the moment and rally behind the Vice President as our nominee and not wait until the formal nomination at the convention almost a month away."

"I’ve always been more 'Let’s just kick the fascists' asses' than 'Blue no matter who.'
But I will obviously support anyone Democrats nominate over Donald Trump. That’s the easiest choice of my life that doesn’t involve waffle fries.
When it all comes down to it, I’m a single-issue voter. My issue is that I’d like to keep voting."

"Donald Trump and Chris LaCivita are about to hit Kamala Harris with an avalanche of racist and sexist attacks and a ton of slut-shaming. Democrats across the board need to be saying now what we all know, which is that this will bring out the very worst of Trump. Racism and sexism are his brand. Charlottesville is his brand."
